THE STORY OF FILM, PARTS 13, 14 AND 15

Saturday, November 17, 2012

Few saw it coming, but cinema
around the world in the 90s entered a golden age. The story starts in Iran,
where we meet Abbas Kiarostami (Taste of Cherry), who rethought movie making and made it more real. Then
we meet Shinya Tsukamoto (Tetsuo, the Iron Man), who laid the ground for the bold new Japanese horror
cinema. From Tokyo, the story moves to Paris where Claire Denis (Beau
Travail) talks exclusively about her work,
and then to Mexico with the blossoming of its new films. Meanwhile, we examine
what was new in Tarantino’s dialogue and the edge of the Coen brothers. The
writer of Robocop and Starship
Troopers talks about their irony, while in
in Australia, Baz Luhrmann talks about Moulin Rouge, plunging us into the
digital world to see how it changed the movies forever. David Lynch’s Mulholland
Drive became one of the most complex dream
films ever made, and Inception turned film itself into a game. In Moscow,
master director Alexander Sokurov (Russian Ark) talks about his innovative films and leads us to a
surprise: The Story of Film ends by
going beyond the present, to glimpse the films of the future. (180 min.)
